1.		On the Art of Building in Ten Books from The MIT Press Price: $29.00 Customer Review: This book is half a millennium old and I think it's easier and more pleasurable to read than most current authors writing about architecture. This is a classic, no doubt about that - but it's not dry and boring like I assumed it would be since it was assigned reading for a class. Alberti's genial... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Richard Meier Architect, Vol. 1 (1964-1984) from Rizzoli International Publications Price: $495.00 Customer Review: Will decrease a many help to you.

3.		The Idea of a Town: The Anthropology of Urban Form in Rome, Italy, and The Ancient World from The MIT Press Customer Review: This is an ethnocentric view of the role of religion in ancient cities. The author assumes that all cities were the same and that notions from the western tradition apply to all ancient cities. The use of the term "anthropology" in the title is ironic; his approach is not at all anthropological... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Richard Meier Houses and Apartments from Rizzoli Price: $22.99 Customer Review: I recieved this book as a gift and was very surprised. Its giver told me she had read a great review of it in the WSJ, and, judging the book by its cover (as all such books may well be sampled) I was excited. I am a great fan of Mr. Meier, so that may make me a little biased, but to Rizzoli's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		Aldo van Eyck, Works from Birkhäuser Basel Price: $74.48 Customer Review: Es un genio del siglo XX. Y espero un precedente de la revolución del XXI. Lamentablemente holandés solo traducido al inglés.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The Judicious Eye: Architecture Against the Other Arts from University Of Chicago Press Price: $34.67 Customer Review: As with all of Rykwert's books, I have found this one both knowledgeable and stimulating. The author confronts a problem I have tried to address in my courses in architectural history, namely the relation of architecture to the other arts, especially the privileged ones of painting and sculture.

8.		Richard Meier Architect, Vol. 4 (1999-2003) from Rizzoli International Publications Customer Review: i recommend this book to anyone, especially to the architects, but unfortunately i have to agree with the other reviewers; the first three are really better than this one. ayse gokbakan,architect-istanbul	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		The Seduction of Place: The History and Future of Cities from Vintage Price: $8.63 Customer Review: Rykwert is extremely knowledgeable regarding architecture and western civilization in general.

10.		The Dancing Column: On Order in Architecture from The MIT Press Price: $35.17 Customer Review: we came to expect from Joseph Rykwert works of great erudition, which incessantly delve into their subject matter to uncover its deepest folds and hidden meanings...[perhaps a "deconstruction" without the fancy of that attribute], and this work is no exception to this. This is a thick investigation... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
